Daltullich House is a post-medieval enclosure located in Inverness-shire, Scotland, approximately 245 metres north-east of Daltullich House itself. The monument represents a form of land division and management typical of the early modern period in the Scottish Highlands, when formal boundaries increasingly enclosed previously open land for agricultural or administrative purposes.
The enclosure sits upon bedrock of Middle Old Red Sandstone, formed during the Middle Devonian period. This geology—comprising conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone and mudstone—has long influenced settlement patterns and land use in the region, with the underlying stone providing material for building and the soils derived from it supporting pastoral farming. The varied composition of the bedrock would have affected both drainage and the quality of grazing land available to its occupants.
The site is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM11533, recognising its significance to understanding post-medieval settlement and land management practices in the Highlands. Such enclosures provide important archaeological evidence of how communities organised and exploited their landscape during a period of social and economic change.
